Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/3] netfilter: nf_tables: place base_seq in struct net
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 12:02:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901160234.1283938-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901160234.1283938-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
[ Upstream commit 64102d9bbc3d41dac5188b8fba75b1344c438970 ]
This will soon be read from packet path around same time as the gencursor.
Both gencursor and base_seq get incremented almost at the same time, so
it makes sense to place them in the same structure.
This doesn't increase struct net size on 64bit due to padding.
